Plus he made Americans feel more positive about their country and the future, which is very important for a country. ]]> 2019-04-15 14:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351667764 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351668566 2019-04-15 14:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351668566 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351684848
I don't believe he was a great president, but I believe he was good. Although he settled tension from the cold war and prevented a war. His administration had a number of problems creating feuds among the government and american people. ]]> 2019-04-15 15:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351684848 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351685915 I think JFK was a good president because of his ability to prevent war. Tensions had grown to a high and he was able to defuse a war. He unfortunately did not pass many bills into laws. He was also able to accomplish many great things like the Cuban missile crisis.
He was able to defuse the situation peacefully without the use of weapons. ]]> 2019-04-15 15:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351685915 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351686184 2019-04-15 15:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351686184 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351686952 I feel like JFK was a good president because he helped the united states with tensions from the cold war and also prevented the another world war from happening. With all of this going on he tried to comfort the people of america also showing how he was a good president (Not a great one).]]> 2019-04-15 15:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351686952 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351688633 I'd like to say that while Kennedy was not the best president, he was infact a great one. He did have faults but his character and his actions to his faults helped the nation deal with problems and move forward. A great deal of charasmatic character got people to rally around him and he eased tensions with the cold war. T H I S I S M Y A N S W E R . -Count Nebula.

He acknowledged that his first year as president was a "disaster" which included the failed bay of pigs invasion in Cuba, and other failed attempts to overthrow Castro and communism in Cuba. Also, JFK was unable to pass new legislation due to a lack of a democratic majority in congress. Overall, JFK spent less than three years in the white house which means he did not have time to accomplish as much as other presidents did during longer terms.]]> 2019-04-15 16:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351719225 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351719685 He was a god president.

During the first year of his presidency was rough because he had many failed efforts to undo Fidel Castro regime, an example is the Bay of Pigs invasion where he failed. Later in his presidency he was able to adept management of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This was  a very risky time and it was very important that JFK brought it to an end.

He was still good because he did his duties as a president: launched civil rights bill, provided health care, and eased the Cold War.

He also signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. However, there were some downsides of his presidency as well, with his failed Bay of Pigs invation in Cuba and attempts to get rid of Communism there. Overall, he was a good president and was rather idealistic, acting as a symbol of hope for America during worldwide tensions with communism. ]]> 2019-04-15 18:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351759678 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351762149 In my opinion, JFK was a good President, but not necessarily a great one.

Like most, he did many good things but he also had his flaws as a person and in his time of presidency.

His presidency was too short for anyone to know that he would be great. While he was in office he did good work with the Missile Crisis and made some attempt at addressing civil rights issues. These things , however, are not enough to call him great.

His first year during his term as President was rough. He even acknowledged himself that it was a disaster because of the Bay of Pigs invasion, also, he said himself that meeting with Soviet leader was humiliating. However, JFK was successful in which he looked out for the American people, provided them a sense of hope and left a positive impact. He had extraordinary successes, for example, stopping the Cuban Missile Crisis and preventing more tension with the Soviet Union, easing the Cold War.]]> 2019-04-15 22:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351821651 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351825860 2019-04-15 22:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351825860 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351826634 I think JFK was a good president because he was able to prevent war.

During the cold war era, he had his ups and downs as we all do. But when it came to making the right decisions and how to treat people, he did what he believed was following our morals. Speaking of morals, he also went on to initiate civil rights in order to ensure that segregation would come to an end. Therefore propelling us towards the new century. ]]> 2019-04-15 23:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351827885 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351828362 Yes, I think JFK was a good president. I feel this way because of JFK's superior judgement of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, widely considered the most dicey moment since World War II. I also feel this way because he took many steps forward in bettering our country, such as  launching a drive for a civil-rights bill that he hoped would end racial segregation. He also proposed a voting-rights bill and federal programs to provide health care to the elderly and the poor. Finally, I think he was a good president because he  spoke kindly of the Soviet Union and that helped cool the waters between the US and the Soviets during the Cold War]]> 2019-04-15 23:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351828362 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351829687 JFK is a good president, but he shouldn't be considered one of the best.

Although he redeemed himself by defusing the Cuban Missile Crisis after the disastrous Bay of Pigs Invasion, I find the rest of his service in office to be characterized by his martyrdom, and that his popularity and approval ratings are largely attributed to his image as a martyr. This is not to say that he was a bad president—I personally believe  he was a good one—it’s just that his public image doesn’t make him a great one. ]]> 2019-04-16 00:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351840048 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351840857 I think that he was a president who followed his path and ideas to make country and to help other countries as best as he could, also, encouraging whole nation to follow his believe "think what you can do for a country". However, I do not think that he was a Great president. His mistakes in the beginning of his presidential carrier like meeting with Khruschev in Vienna was a failure, because of his young age and not well-knowledge or preparing. Nevertheless, he became a representative of the future american post-war nation which gave american people a greater hope.

He proposed very strong ideas for civil rights, but they didn't come into fruition during his lifetime. He was able to ease, but not end, tensions with the Soviet Union.

I think he was extremely popular in the court of public opinion because of his charisma, personality, and status. He did follow in Truman's path with the containment policy by blockading the Soviets rather than bombing Cuba, so in that sense he prevented war, but I don't think he is at the Great tier of presidents.]]> 2019-04-16 01:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351843712 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/351844443 I think JFK was a good president because during his presidency he faced many obstacles and was able to keep the US in a good position.

Although he was able to stop the Cuban Missile Crisis -- and the majority of America praised him for that -- he also had his flaws. One of the example being that his meeting with the Soviet leader during the time, which he himself called a disaster.

He confronted mounting Cold war tensions in Cuba Vietnam and else where. He also provided growing support for the civil rights movement. And the people loved him so there is no arguing that.

However, the reason he is a great president is because he would handle his mistakes in a proper manner, and would face new problems with great leadership and good ideas.

His accomplishment with the Cuban missile crisis was very important because it showed that the U.S. doesn't have to use weapons and violence to sort out a disagreement.

JFK helped end racial segregation by passing a civil right bill.

He wasn't a terrible president but he also wasn't anything special. Based on the reading you can see that he had his highs and lows, such as, "The most important, and most famous, was his adept management of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, widely considered the most perilous moment since World War II."  and "The Bay of Pigs invasion of Communist Cuba was only the first in a series of failed efforts to undo Fidel Castro’s regime."

He didn't have many accomplishments other than the Cuban Missile Crisis.

A lot of it was pulling strings for him which I think is not self made. His first year of presidency was a mess, and he didn't do anything that is super memorable like FDR did. I think he had some high points especially by speaking kindly to the Soviet Union and help easing the Cold War, but nothing any other president couldn't do.]]> 2019-04-16 16:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352037262 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352039966 JFK seams like a reasonable president who had a rocky start in the beginning  with the The Bay of Pigs and the 1961 summit meeting in Vienna. He really turned his reputation around with the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. I think he is a generally good president, but what made him so memorable is his death. ]]> 2019-04-16 16:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352039966 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352043965 I think that JFK was a great president because of mainly the reason that he kept the United States from getting into another war. He may not have passed any bills or anything while in office. But during the time of the cold war I would argue that you didn't need any. He just needed to keep us from getting into any wars that we don't want to get involved in or start which is exactly what he did. ]]> 2019-04-16 16:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352043965 jessy_sanchez https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352062215 I think JFK was a good president because he was able to lead the country through times. He did good with preventing the war he had struggles along the way.

While he did have personal problems in his life, his accomplishments in regards to the U.S. were acknowledged and praised. He helped with the Cuban Missile Crisis, the race to space, etc. Sadly, he cheated on his wife many times and didn't show a lot of good judgement, and used his power in order to participate in those affairs. But as a president he made a lot of good moves in the right direction for the U.S.]]> 2019-04-17 01:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352166766 spencer_lane1 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352192047 Based off of the information given, I can only say that at best JFK was a good president.The quote that decided this for me states that JFK was a ¨passionate president who would have transformed the nation and the world, had he lived.¨ The fact that phrases such as ¨would have¨ and ¨had he lived¨ makes it impossible to see whether he could have built himself up into being regarded as a great president. ]]> 2019-04-17 04:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352192047 https://padlet.com/matthew_bellito/ua1y9i3555cq/wish/352302354 I think that JFK was a good president, not the greatest and definitely not the worst.
